Amen metmom.
However,it seems that folks will end up trusting the most what they hear the most.
Faith (trust)cometh by hearing afterall.It seems to follow that what is heard the most is trusted the most.By that I don't necessarily mean intellectually assent to but rather that deeper trust in,or faith in (whatever)that effects the way we view things and the way we think.I think that none of us are totally immune to this but as believers we can at least now "bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ".As free people who have been given all that we need (the Holy Spirit)we will not let our heart,which we do not fully know, rule our thoughts simply because something we have heard over and over again sank down into us without ever being trully vetted.
We examine all things and hold on to the true.
God bless.
AMEN! mitch. That’s a great observation.
